U.S. Trade Court Strikes Down Trump’s 10% Global Tariffs as Unlawful
The U.S. Court of International Trade declared President Donald Trump’s 10% global tariffs unlawful, holding that he exceeded his authority under Section 122 of the Trade Act. The court granted summary judgment and a permanent injunction to the importer plaintiffs, dealing a fresh setback to the administration’s trade agenda.
The majority said Congress gave presidents only limited emergency tariff powers under Section 122, aimed at specific international payments crises, and found the administration had used that law to address modern trade deficits. The ruling follows the Supreme Court’s February decision against an earlier set of levies, after which the administration began issuing refunds tied to $166 billion in tariffs previously declared unlawful.
